About Me
I'm engaged, i'm unemployed, and i'm working towards trying to better myself. i had sort of rough teenage years, and i'm (most likely) autistic, so i'm sort of growing up at an older age than most people. i've learned how to not be "weird" or a "freak" or what mean people used to call "retarded", so in abandoning my compulsive stimms and tics, not only have i proven to appear "normal", but i've also learned to be flexible with other people. in other words, i generally get along well with others and try my best at communicating, but sometimes i'm rude, and don't know it, or i sometimes over think things and have panic attacks in social situations. at least this is what i think about myself.

Support Groups
Close Food Allergies
Type of allergy: Other FoodsI haven't seen a food allergist to know anything for certain, but i believe i have food allergies. gluten, casein, (which whilst being poor, is all i can afford to sustain myself,) milk, cheese, and red meat.. i'm working my way (slowly) to getting a diagnosis for autism, which would explain what i believe i'm allergic to.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- i should go vegan, but i can't afford good food these days. also, i should remember say no to sugar and gluten more often, but that's very hard to do.. i'm slowly workin on it though.
Close Asperger Syndrome
Thusfar i'm only self-diagnosed. understanding the fact that getting a diagnosis will hurt any chance of me ever having health insurance, i am still pursuing one (at a slow pace, indeed.)
Treatments
- Pets Working / Worked
- i luff my aminals good. :)
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- physical exercise gives me happy endorphins. :)
Open Bipolar Disorder
My brother was diagnosed with bi-polar some few years ago. i might have it also. (i don't really know.. i have yet to see a therapist.) i know that i relate to a lot of "bi-polar characteristics" or "symptoms" or..whatever, but i'm not sure as to the extent of my possible bi-polar. (i don't know where to put myself at, "manic", "bi-polar1", etc.)
Open Hypothyroidism
i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 12. my levoxyl has been at the same level for years and years until recently.. which could be for other reasons, like my recent diet change, i don't know.. i'll have to get back to that one..
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- when i didn't take it before, i had problems with yeast infections, extreme fatigue and constipation. since i've changed my diet and it's mostly fiber now, i still have some problems with constipation, but i suppose that just means i need to balance my diet more.. and i'm sure that's more info than you really wanted to know. heh..
Open Acne
there's so many things that can make me flare up, but i've found recently that diet can really help, exercise is awesome for your skin, and there's certain chemicals that i can't use because it will indefinitely clog my pores.. ..i've had acne sine i was about 10, (i went through puberty early,) so i've done just about everything one could do with a tiny budget. (my cheapest and best fix is an aspirin mask, fo sho!)
Treatments
- AcneFree Working / Worked
- it's stronger than proactive. i used this after my skin got immune to proactive's effects.
- Apple Cider Vinegar Working / Worked
- can't say much about it, it feels good and helps level one's ph-balance, but man does it sting my nose. (eventually you get used to it, but still... eventually you get tired of it too.) also, regular plain white vinegar works well too.
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- i like to use aspirin as a mask. its mostly salicylic acid and its granular so it buffs and helps keep my oiliness at bay.used too often it dries me out. it's also found at dollar stores in the un-coated variety (the one you want,) and that means it's el cheapo awesomeness!
- Benzoyl Peroxide Working / Worked
- i like this for my biggest problems and my cystic zits. sometimes i add this to my regular hand soap.
- Dietary Modification Working / Worked
- i stopped drinking milk and eating meat. i occasionally eat meat and when i do i break out but cutting back like i have has left me with far fewer breakouts. i initially changed my diet just for a lifestyle change and it ended up benefiting me in more ways than just better skin.
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- ortho tri-cyclen and ortho tri-cyclne low are awesome.. i can't say the same for ortho cyclen, though, that one makes me break out with cystic acne.
- Proactiv Working / Worked
- worked for 4.5 years and then my skin became "immune" to it's effects.
- Washing Working / Worked
- i like to use simple hand soap.. sometimes with benzoyl peroxide gel, or sometimes as an additive to an aspirin mask.
Open Endometriosis
i was diagnosed when i was 12. i've used birth control to help. it used to just barely help, but now that i'm older, it helps more than ever.
Treatments
- Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
- this and ortho tricyclen low have worked very well for me.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
i've identified myself as being OCD since i was about 8. it's only now that i'm older that i'm seeking a diagnosis, along with AS, which would explain a whole lot.
Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety
i have to be really stressed out to be agoraphobic, but it does in fact happen from time to time.. i hate it.
Open Schizophrenia
i might be Schizoaffective. i don't know though. i'm not a doctor.. but i do wish to be a part of this support group.. perhaps i may learn something? (i already have!)
Open Scleroderma
Type: Limited Scleroderma (CREST syndrome)My mother and I both have Limited Scleroderma.. she's far more affected by it than I, but i thought that having access to talking to others that understand would be beneficial to both of us.
